Custom Metal Number Tags
Designed to Last the Life of Your Product
MPC’s custom metal number tags are manufactured to contain whatever information your tag requires – from bold text to detailed schematics to variable barcoded data.
Typically constructed of Metalphoto® photosensitive anodized aluminum, our metal number tags are used in applications where permanent product or process identification is critical. Metalphoto’s durability comes from its image which is sealed inside of the anodized aluminum, providing superior resistance to corrosion, sunlight degradation, abrasion, extreme temperatures and chemical exposure.
Any of our metal number tags can be paired with a high-performance pressure-sensitive 3M adhesive. Whether you want to attach adhesive metal number tags to metal, plastic, wood, or any other product or equipment surface, our engineers will help select the right self-adhesive metal number tag for your application and budget. Non-adhesive, mechanical attachment methods are also available.
